Ian O'Doherty: Question isn't if we'll get an invitation to Washington, it's why would they bother?
Briefly

Currently, there is apprehension surrounding the annual invitation for the Taoiseach to present a ceremonial offering to the American president. Traditionally, the invite is received by mid-February, but its absence raises questions about potential diplomatic tensions. It may indicate a response from the Trump administration to the perceived anti-Trump stance adopted by several Irish officials. This unforeseen gap in tradition suggests that Ireland may be viewed unfavorably in the current political landscape between the two countries.
The absence of the annual invitation for the Taoiseach to Washington could indicate a deliberate snub from the Trump regime, paying attention to anti-Trump sentiment from Irish politicians.
Typically, the formal invitation arrives by mid-February, leading to speculation whether it's a simple oversight or an intentional slight against Ireland.
